Hi,

I run sbuild as following:

sbuild --no-run-lintian --arch-all --dist=sid *.dsc -d unstable-amd64-sbuild

, where unstable-amd64-sbuild references a chroot. Updating the chroot is done:

sudo sbuild-update -udcar unstable-amd64-sbuild

Both commands generate weird messages in /var/log/syslog like this:

2023-12-01T09:36:52.230653+01:00 haka2 schroot[3182]: [unstable-
amd64-sbuild-327cf8c2-30d1-4469-aa7b-9bc3653dbc45 chroot] (root->root) Running
command: "perl -e #012    use strict;#012
    use warnings;#012    use POSIX;#012    <snip>

Sample file is attached. These #012 are page feed chars IIRC. Unfortunately
logcheck is not able to handle the situation and generates E-Mails, which
report the full command line by line. There is definitely a white list rule for
schroot in /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/schroot, but it is not able to handle
the lot of special characters. Consider to not print the full perl script into
the log file (if possible).

It may be an issue in logcheck, but rather prefer to avoid message instead of
trying to white list afterwards.

it may also be an issue with schroot, no? I do not think sbuild at any point
tells schroot to write anything to syslog.

What should sbuild do to fix this?


I wasn't sure b/c I use mostly sbuild. Cloning to schroot.
